AND SHE’S BACK.

Hi! It’s me, Alyssa, the girl who used to blog about her dates, heartbreaks, playlists, sit-ups, sugar highs, European escapades and catfights with friends. Think: Greek wanna-be, "skinny/fat," bad speller. Overly sensitive when it came to that certain blog that loved to kick my...

Okay, even if I’m a vague memory from the past and you’re an official Mike-convert, just humor me! Because here’s an update on my blogless life in Brooklyn, written from my little getaway on Shelley’s shag rug in LA:

I’ve dated (‘n hated) about 200 guys since I’ve moved home. They all fall into one of two categories: The sweet-but-suffocating “hopeless romantics” OR the sexy, seductive “toxic bachelors.”

How hard is it to find someone in the middle??? The one guy who kind of has a hold on me is way too young to take seriously (though he’ll swear up and down that I’m wrong).

NOTHING CHANGES, right?!

And yes, I did have a few GD relapses. I don’t really want to get into it, but the day I turned 30, I was like, “ENOUGH!” Enough.

Speaking of the big 30…. I’m loving it. Feeling smart, sexy and dare I say, stable?! I’m starting at People magazine next week as a staff writer covering film, entertainment, fitness etc… It’s all the stuff I’m into, plus a little glamour and lots of trips to LA!

Oh, I got a second tattoo! A fierce Lotus on the back of my neck. And I’m still spinning and hiking like crazy. I feel strong in so many ways.

Tonight is Shelley’s birthday party. I’m going with Lisette and Jamie-Lynn (how stunning was she at the Emmy’s!?). Mike is coming too, but he better behave. I do love seeing the little devil. Would never date him again, but we are SO connected.

That’s it. I’m sure I’ve said too much, or maybe not enough. Just like the good old days! Love and miss.
